After blogging from Borders last night we headed out to meet friends for dinner. It was a gorgeous night and apparently many others had the same idea as us because there were people everywhere! We had trouble getting our party of ten in anywhere, so after walking up and down a few blocks, we finally settled on a Mexican restaurant without a wait. Success!
This morning came really early 
I headed to the gym for an upper body weights workout and then to the spin studio to teach. Class was awesome! I now remember how much I love teaching spin. We were all dripping in sweat by the end. The studio had a lamp so I turned off all of the flourescent lights and used just that. Combined with the good music mix, it made for a great ride.
When I got home I was absolutely starving and whipped together this creation that ended up exceeding my expectations. In fact, I’m excited to make it again! All of the ingredients were on their last legs…who knew a refrigerator clean out could be so tasty???
In the mix:
1/4 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup leftover grilled veggies (broccoli, red pepper, eggplant, onion)
1/2 grilled chicken breast, chunked
1/4 cup fresh raw corn
romaine lettuce and baby spinach
fresh basil
1 tbsp. prepared hummus watered down to a thin sauce
I tossed it all together for a quick and satisfying lunch. Hummus is the best sauce because it makes everything so creamy!
I was headed to campus to do some work when one of my friends invited me to come hang out at her pool. Homework or pool? Um, no contest. We soaked up the sunshine and beautiful weather for a few hours and played in the pool (complete with handstands and breath holding contests). It was such a great Saturday afternoon!
I’m about to clean up and head to the high school to watch my hubby play in the alumni soccer game. I’m bringing Zoey (the dog) so it’s truly a family affair 
Enjoy your evening!
